Why did I always think you were *in* Italy? And if you aren't, how
is it you have such a poor understanding of American English? The
people at the store down the street who are from Ethiopia, Africa,
only in this country for 7 months now, express themselves better
than you appear to do. I am highly suspicious of anyone who
blatantly slaughters the English language (shut up, you folks over
in the U.K.!) with every post. The maids we had in Bangkok in 1970
would have done better had the internet been available.

Doesn't matter; I mostly skip your posts because they aren't
something I want to read. I don't care to see photos of what you
cook. If you want to do that, post to alt.binaries.food. I don't
look at most of the stuff over there, either.

I'm terribly sorry if I'm wrong, but I think you are a fake. A
fake who likes to cook, but nonetheless a fake.

Jill, Pandora lives in Italy. She and I have exchanged letters and hers
are postmarked from there, from a post office near Turin. )

As for her command of English, it is much better than my command of
French, which is a language I studied in school and where I lived for a
while. Foreign languages are difficult to master. (

I hope that you are well and had nice holidays. My sister is in the
hospital since before Christmas, with a broken leg as the result of a
fall. Marcel just came home from the hospital, after a week's stay in
one, where he had angioplasty and a stent inserted. We spent New Year's
Eve in the Emergency Room. It was not the best Holiday Season for us.

Hi, Pandora,

Do you live in Italy or the USA???
We'd love to have you live here, but we thought, from your posts,
that
you lived in Italy.
I love your posts.
Cheers,
Nancree

....And I love yours!!!!! )))
Thank you
Pandy



Ok, ok. Pandy doesn't want us to know WHERE she lives!

Nothern Italy, near Turin. The name of the country is Germagnano, near
Alps.

That is where I thought you lived and I was surprised to see someone
write that you were not living in Italy

I was surprised too! But perhaps he forgot! I don't remember where all the
folks (Rcf'rs) lives! But I know that Ophelia live in Scotland but she was
born in Yorkshire (I remember this things because of the puddings )) ) ;
that Margaret, lives in New York; That sf lives in San francisco and
Whayne lives near California. I know that Bob Pastorio lives in Virginia,
That Carol "in this Crash" lives in Minnesota, that Patches lives in
Canada ... and Sheldon lives in Burundi DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
I don't know where the other folks lives. I Suggest to write it under the
sign.
What do you think?
Cheers and greetings
Pandora
in Piedmont (Nothern Italy).

Oh!!!! I have forgotten that Jill lives in Ruanda, near Sheldon... ! But I
Am not racist... I love them...after all... DDD

Pandora, you said nothing out of the ordinary. I believe that Jill
misunderstood something in a post of a few days ago. Here it is:

I have spent my Xmas holiday in Italy. But now I Am come
back In America. My Italian Ng friends needed my presence:
they were so lovely and so kind ... I have had a nice welcome
there!!!

I thought you meant that you have "spent" some time reading and
posting in your Italian news group, because you felt you have
neglected them. Once you were done there, you returned to rfc and
resumed your posting here.

Jill may have thought that you were teasing us about being Italian and
living there and that you were making fun of us by making mistakes
when you posted in English.

You must have noticed that this is something that happens at times,
that someone makes a mistake and annoys someone else in doing so. It
happened to me a couple of days ago, when I wrote about some "Jews
being kosher" and someone pointed out that I had used a wrong way to
describe "Jews who keep kosher". Instead of getting upset about it, I
told that person that I am old and that I make mistakes. )

Jill is a nice person. I am certain that she meant no harm. You are
a nice person and I know that this will be straightened out in no time
at all. There is no sense in getting so upset about it. Besides, I
get very, very upset when two people I like and consider to be my
friends, have a misunderstanding. (

LOL *NO ONE* talks like this. Spoken with great authority. And
foolishly great error.

I've met a number of Italians who own
restaurants (around here it's the Gristanti family) and they don't
talk like they are members of a crime family.

And everybody knows that all Italians talk alike, right? And they're
allied with crime families, right? And you know from how they talk that
they would write grammatically correct English, right? It's a flaw of
logic to try to postulate from the particular (one example) to the
universal (everybody) and, in this case, it's also a character flaw.

LOL As for knowing Italians who own restaurants, I used to be one. And
I even know some.

They sure as hell
wouldn't TYPE like they are. You, my friend, deserve every criticism
you get. With your half-assed "English" you are an insult to every
legitimate Italian-American who came here to make a new life.

And you, Jill, are so far off-the-mark that it's hard to believe you
consider this rational.

What, in her posts, suggests "talk like they are members of a crime
family"? What are you seeing that I'm missing?


She talks and writes like she is illiterate of the English language. I
don't believe she is. She also let everyone think (see the question from
Ophelia) to which I replied) she was IN Italy when it turns out she's
somewhere in the USA. To me that smacks of deception.

Jill, it's absolutely, completely a matter of your not understanding.
Nothing else. She spent the holidays more actively engaged in Italian
NG's (as she states above) and has now rejoined RFC which she rightly
considers American if only by weight of numbers of participants.

And your extreme reaction and insistence on the correctness of your
opinion in the face of clarifying explanations makes you look pretty silly.

The way she "talks"
I'd expect a member of the Gambino family to come over and smack me around
for not believing her. At least she likes to cook, but I'm not buying the
illiterate Italian thing for a single minute.

Jill, it's a singular astonishment how utterly wrong you are about this

being in the depths of your error.

She lives in northern Italy. I have postmarks and addresses to prove it.
In private correspondence, her English is as it is on group. She's not
illiterate - far from it - she suffers exactly the same things that
anyone speaking in languages not their own does.

As for acquaintanceship with Italians - particularly northern Italians -
my experience far, far trumps yours. My family came from there and my
first language was Italian. I know the typical language formations
likely to emerge in English (in which subject I'm university-degreed)
from that linguistic background. They're what she posts.

It would be good if you bothered to actually read what others have
posted about her and the situation. Look less foolish. Sound less bigoted.

No one talks like this. I've met a number of Italians who own
restaurants (around here it's the Gristanti family) and they don't
talk like they are members of a crime family. They sure as hell
wouldn't TYPE like they are. You, my friend, deserve every criticism
you get. With your half-assed "English" you are an insult to every
legitimate Italian-American who came here to make a new life.

What, in her posts, suggests "talk like they are members of a crime
family"? What are you seeing that I'm missing?

She talks and writes like she is illiterate of the English language. I
don't believe she is. She also let everyone think (see the question from
Ophelia) to which I replied) she was IN Italy when it turns out she's
somewhere in the USA. To me that smacks of deception. The way she
"talks"
I'd expect a member of the Gambino family to come over and smack me around
for not believing her. At least she likes to cook, but I'm not buying the
illiterate Italian thing for a single minute.

Ma allora sei proprio scema!!!!!!!! Non hai capito un bel fico secco!!!!!
Cmq. Questo è un complimento se non riesci ancora a capire che sono
Italiana.
Adesso mi aspetto che mi rispondi in Italiano. O non ne sei capace perchè
sei ignorante e hai studiato nel Bronx?
Ciao

Hey, Jill. She respectfully (heh) awaits - in this sentence - "Adesso
mi aspetto che mi rispondi in Italiano." your reply in Italian. Show us
all what literacy looks like in a language not your own.

G'head. No, seriously...

Scema means "fool." Fits.

"Bronx" of course, refers to the farm of Jacob Bronk that later became a
memorable part of New York city. LOL It's not, strictly speaking, an
Italian word. But neither are the constructions "New York Yankees" or
"Yankee Stadium."

I especially like how you instantly went to crime families in your
picture of Italians. Makes me appreciate your obvious and deep respect
for "every legitimate Italian-American who came here to make a new
life." Couple that with your extremely authoritative grasp of
linguistics and I can tell you, I'm sure impressed with the erudite case
you've made. Got your education from Sheldon University, huh?

No, cara! Las Vegas is a city in the state of Nevada - the southwestern
part of the USA. It's chief industry is legalized gambling. "Sin City"
I think it is sometimes called.

keep kosher". Instead of getting upset about it, I told that
person that I am old and that I make mistakes. )


I didn't mean any harm by it, either. I know I can come across as
more forceful than I intend to here. Stuff like that bugs me, but
it's nothing personal

And I did not take it as something personal. I made a mistake and you
pointed it out to me and that was all.

LOL *NO ONE* talks like this. Spoken with great authority. And foolishly
great error.

I've met a number of Italians who own
restaurants (around here it's the Gristanti family) and they don't
talk like they are members of a crime family.

And everybody knows that all Italians talk alike, right? And they're
allied with crime families, right? And you know from how they talk that
they would write grammatically correct English, right? It's a flaw of
logic to try to postulate from the particular (one example) to the
universal (everybody) and, in this case, it's also a character flaw.

LOL As for knowing Italians who own restaurants, I used to be one. And I
even know some.

They sure as hell
wouldn't TYPE like they are. You, my friend, deserve every criticism
you get. With your half-assed "English" you are an insult to every
legitimate Italian-American who came here to make a new life.

And you, Jill, are so far off-the-mark that it's hard to believe you
consider this rational.

What, in her posts, suggests "talk like they are members of a crime
family"? What are you seeing that I'm missing?


She talks and writes like she is illiterate of the English language. I
don't believe she is. She also let everyone think (see the question from
Ophelia) to which I replied) she was IN Italy when it turns out she's
somewhere in the USA. To me that smacks of deception.

Jill, it's absolutely, completely a matter of your not understanding.
Nothing else. She spent the holidays more actively engaged in Italian NG's
(as she states above) and has now rejoined RFC which she rightly considers
American if only by weight of numbers of participants.

Yes. But I don't understand where is the problem. If I were an Italian
American who leaved in America and then went back in Italy for holidays.
Where is the problem?
I don't understand!


And your extreme reaction and insistence on the correctness of your
opinion in the face of clarifying explanations makes you look pretty
silly.

It's what I think! Perhaps is wine or Rum or whiskey..


The way she "talks"
I'd expect a member of the Gambino family to come over and smack me
around
for not believing her. At least she likes to cook, but I'm not buying
the
illiterate Italian thing for a single minute.

Who is Gambino?


Jill, it's a singular astonishment how utterly wrong you are about this
and, further, how much like Sheldon you sound. How poisonous you are being
in the depths of your error.

I Am surprised too! But tomorrow with aspirin and fresh air she will change!


She lives in northern Italy. I have postmarks and addresses to prove it.
In private correspondence, her English is as it is on group. She's not
illiterate - far from it - she suffers exactly the same things that anyone
speaking in languages not their own does.

I know that my English is not perfect. But I have said in the first post:" I
Am here to learn English!"
Perhaps English language is a little different from her slang!



As for acquaintanceship with Italians - particularly northern Italians -
my experience far, far trumps yours. My family came from there and my
first language was Italian. I know the typical language formations likely
to emerge in English (in which subject I'm university-degreed) from that
linguistic background. They're what she posts.

Thanks Bob You have said what I think!
